Description: This function allows the user to scale selected surfaces with respect to any axis (global or local) using magnification factors in the X, Y, or Z (U, V, or W) directions. A scale factor greater than 1 will magnify the surface, whereas a scale factor less than 1 will reduce the surface.
Usage:
1. DSI prompts the user to select the surfaces.
2. Once the surfaces have been selected, DSI prompts the user to create a local coordinate system. The user also has the option to select the global coordinate system. (Refer to Local Coordinate System, Section 2.16, for a thorough explanation of this procedure.)
3. Once the desired coordinate system has been defined, DSI prompts:
> ENTER X,Y,Z SCALE FACTOR, OR E TO EXIT
• This scales the surface.
